Whether or not you’ve always followed Corey Duffel’s career, his skating was never something you could look away from.
We got together with our friend Joey Sinko to make this short film taking a second look at the slams, stories, and glory left by the Duffman.
Much more than a “best of” but not quite a Hulu documentary, this Jenkem Ode is a deeply personal dive into Corey’s life. Revisit the huge gaps and rails that made Corey’s career and broke many of his bones, and hear the behind the scenes tales of his incredible makes and gut-wrenching slams.
After months of scouring video parts, uncovering old footage, and interviewing Corey in a police interrogation-style room, Joey emerged with “Manimal.” It may sound like the title of either a sick ’80s TV show or downright bestiality, but it’s instead a powerful meditation of skating’s number one punk.
If your teenage hormones resurface at the thought of the Duffman, or you’re unaware of the recklessness he puts himself through, “Manimal” will be a wild ride.

That’s a hell of a insult to throw at one. I’m glad you’re so entitled to your freedom of speech. Give the video a watch instead spewing out more hate into the world. Enjoy your day. I know I’m no saint, but to be called a Nazi is just vile. I’m not killing people, or telling people that I’m better than them. Scumbag? Totally fine. After all I’m a sink pisser. When you’re tall there is less splashback and it saves water. Wash your hands while washing the piss down the drain :)

Go watch his nine club and proceed to hang your head in shame.

Because of a comment as a 15 year old kid it makes me a Nazi?
The world is more than black and white. If you choose to live in the past, and want to crucify people for misstates instead of educating and slowing growth, you can stay in the past. I will continue to move forward. Have a nice day and enjoy life a little. Worry about creating acts of kindness instead of putting people down. :)

Hey corey, loved watching you when I was younger and watching you still going out now. Loved your nine club and can’t wait to watch this and got a few buddies I’m gonna send it to that feel the same. Hope you feel more love than hate and the noise gets drowned out. Thanks for letting us watch the ride.
